It isn't about seeing with your eyes. It's about perceiving the world differently.
Hear where things are.
UNBLIND's 3D audio makes every person and object sound from where they are: to your left, in front or behind. And with LiDAR, the same sound tells you where obstacles are.
Put on headphones and hear how it sounds.

What it does, seen the UNBLIND way.
The same street, told five ways. Tap one or let it change.
It also reads text aloud and recognizes products and codes. While it is in development, it does not replace the white cane or the guide dog.

From the first prototype to the street.
In 2021 we asked ourselves how a blind person could know what is in front of them. UNBLIND came out of that question, and Alba was born from UNBLIND: we learned to see with machines.
